Hello! I have just started programming in Ruby as part of my University course. Now I am having trouble with installing ruby and freeride. I downloaded Ruby 1.8.5 One click installer from [www.ruby-lang.org](http://www.ruby-lang.org) but when I try to open Free Ride that was included in the package all I get is a console window with loads and loads of text. Most of the text says Failing to load: etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. dipen ---

You might try using the bundled scite editor. I’ve found it to work well on Windows. ---
